Al-Faisaly were relegated from the Saudi Professional League in the 2021/22 season and spent last season in the First Division, where they began poorly before recording an eight-game winning run to gain promotion, narrowly missing the playoffs by one point.
In pre-season action Al Hilal played four friendlies, recording two wins, one draw and one defeat, while Al-Faisaly played a single friendly, beating Beletinci 3:1. The two clubs last met in 2022 when Al Hilal won 2:1; across previous meetings Al Hilal have six wins and four draws against Al-Faisaly.
